Bear Grylls has a recipe. Skin it, piss in its skin, drink it a few hours later. Good cocktail recipe anyway.

chop it up & bung it in a good dutch oven, together with a few bits of Platypus & Potteroo, for about 3 hours.

Have baited a few sights around my house, paddock, inlaws and friends. Using a variety of milks (skim, full cream and lite) and different containers (cans, bottles and plastics) Will post back results later.

Snakes are following me around this week, just had a baby come out of a round about on Heaslip Road right in front of my car. Could have run over it but chose to live and let live. Odd place for a snake considering they dont like vibrations with the amount of traffic and trucks going past.

I have got some bird eggs and mice, that will get me a nice snake for dinner.

Nothing not a god damn thing. Foxes turned over a few traps, some got blown round in the weather. But nothing in others, will try ytry again!

Cost me $155 last summer, he was there for all of 5 mins. Picked the snake up with what looked like a rubbish pick up device, put it in a bag, and all done.

My traps are not proving me with any yummy snake to eat. Might have to resort to fresh looking roadkill.

I walk along the little para trials just near the whitehorse inn, yet to see one, but have heard heaps of stories of people who have. Positive id is pretty difficult too mate, brown snakes can be various colours, black snakes can be brownish etc. What you need to do is catch one, and count the dorsal scales at mid body for positive id. If your not in hospital let us know how your identification goes. Futhermore if you could allow yourself to be bitten it would be helpful to determining the sub-species.

Being an expert on snakes, the chance of envenoming from most South Australian snakes is between 40-60% (Inland taipan is around 70-80%). This means you have a good chance of being perfectly fine from a bite. So I would encourage people to try and identify the species of snake. More people die from bee stings than snake bites..
